Specification of Letters Patent.

Patentedisept. 17, 1907.

Application filed March 29,1907. Serial No. 365,299.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HELIMENAS Sore MARTCHYEN, a citizen of the Republic of Venezuela, and a resident of Maracaibo, Venezuela, South America, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bottles,'of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The purpose of the invention is to provide a bottle which is so constructed that when filled, corked and sealed, it cannot again be presented as an original package after having been once opened.

Another purpose of the invention is to provide a bottle of the character described, that will be simple, durable and economic in construction, and one that can be conveniently filled and its contents readily discharged.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts as will be hereinafter fully set forth and pointed out in the claims.

Reference'is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a side elevation of the improved bottle; Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken practically on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

A represents the body of the bottle, which may be of any desired shape, and A the neck thereof, which neck is provided at its upper end with an outwardlyextending marginal flange 10, and from opposite sides of the said marginal flange 10, cars are upwardly projected, the said ears being by preference given the arched formation shown in the drawings, but they may be otherwise shaped. The car 11 may be wider than the opposing ear 12, and the ear 12 is provided with a circular opening 13, extending horizontally through it, while the arched car 11 is provided with a larger arched opening 14, as is illustrated in Fig. 1.

A tongue 15, made quite thin, is located within the opening 14 of the arched'ear 11 which constitutes a guard for the tongue. This tongue is usually of circular form, shown particularly in Fig. 1, and is. connected at its lower edge with the flange 10 of the neck A by a thin narrow neck 16.

The body of the bottle, its neck and all of the parts described as carried thereby, are made from glass as is likewise the plug or stopper B employed in connection with the neck A, but after the body of the bottle has received its contents, the body is closed by inserting a cork 17 in the neck A extending up flush with the flange 10, as is shown in Fig. 2.

The body portion 19 of the plug or stopper B or that portion which is entered between the opposing faces of the ears 11 and 12 is provided with recesses to receive said ears, the recesses being externally made, and the recess for the car 11 is designatedas 20, while the recess for. opposing earv is designated as 21. These recesses are of corresponding formation but slightly greater in size than the ears that they receive, as is clearlyshownin Fig. 3, but. adjacent to the opening 13 in the ear 12, an auxiliary recess 21 is produced in the said plug or stopper B, as is particularly shown in Figs. 2 and 3, for a purpose to be hereinafter described.

A horizontal bore 22 is produced in the entrant portion of the plug or stopper B, extending in alinement with the openings in the cars 11 and 12, as is clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3. This bore22 is adapted to receive a cotter pin 23, and when the pin is in place in the bottle, the end of the pin to which its spring issecured is made to abut against the inner face of the tongue 15, as is shown in Figs. 1 and 2, while the spring of the cotter pin which does not extend to the opposite end thereof is free to move up in the auxiliary recess 21 in the plug or stopper and engage with the upper inner face of the ear 12, thus preventing the pin from being withdrawn only by forcing the pin against the tongue 15, since the outer end of the pin is flush with the outer face of the aforesaid ear 12, as is shown in Fig. 2.

In order to remove the pin 23 I employ an ordinary pin 24 which is suspended from the neck A of the bottle by a cord 25, or the equivalent of the same. It is therefore evident when the bottle has been filled, the cork 1.7 placed in position, and likewise the plug or stopper B and the pin 23 is placed in position relatively to the plug or stopper and the neck, in order to open the bottle the pin 24'n1ust be directed to the exposed end of the cotter pin 23, whereupon by driving the pin 24 in direction of the opposite side of the bottle the cotter pin will be forced against the tongue 15 and will remove the same from engagement with the neck of the bottle, as is illustrated in Fig. 3, thereby enabling the plug or stopper B to be removed and the stopper 17, but at the same time absolutely destroying the identifying object of the bottle, which identifying object is the tongue 15 when constituting an integral portion of the neck.

As has been stated, this bottle is exceedingly simple in its construction and can be used repeatedly when once opened, but cannot be presented again as an. original package to any one familiar with its shape and design.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent,-.

1. A bottle, the neck whereofis provided with a friable tongue exposed at the interior and the exterior, a stopper for the said neck, a locking device for the stopper independ ent thereof and slidnhle therein, which locking device at its inner end is normally opposite the said tongue, releasing the stopper when driven against the tongue to break the same.

2. A bottle, the neck whereof is provided with a friable exposed tongue, a stopper fitted to the portion of the neck carrying the tongue, and a drivable pin in the neck of the bottle having its inner end opposite the said tongue, a guard for the tongue constituting a part of the neck, and a temporary locking device for the pin.

3. A bottle, the neck whereof is provided with upwardly extending ears having openings therein, the openings in the two cars being of different size, a tongue of friable material located in the larger of the said openings and constituting an integral portion of the neck, a stopper entered between the said ears, and a cotter pin within the said stopper having one end opposite said tongue.

4. The combination with the neck and the body of a bottle, the neck being provided with opposing ears, each ear having an opening therein, the opening in one car being of greater dimensions than the opening in the opposing ear, and a readily breakable tongue located in the larger of said openings, being connected with said neck, of a stopper, a portion of which enters the space between the said ears, a cotter pin mainly located within the said stopper, having its inner end opposite the said tongue, a locking spring for the cotter pin, which spring is adapted to pass through one of the said ears, the end at which the free portion of the spring is located being flush with the outer face of the ear through which it passes, the spring of the cotter pin at such time being in locking engagement with said car, which pin is adapted to be driven against the said tongue to remove the same for opening the bottle.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
